Chapter 58
Rosalie did not notice that Jonathan’s body stiffened slightly when she said this.
“Rosie, do you want to sec Jonathan?” Jonathan asked her.
“It’s not something that I can decide. He and I are from two different worlds,” Rosalie said. “But speaking of it, his back in a suit is somewhat similar to yours. I think if you put on the suit, you will look good, Jon.” Jonathan pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
Rosalie added, “Let’s save some money. When the spring comes, I will buy you a suit. When you are looking for a job, you can wear it if you need to wear formal attire for an interview.”
“Rosie, what would you say if you met Jonathan one day?” Jonathan asked abruptly.
Rosalie suddenly fell into silence. After a while, she mocked herself and said, “Beg him to let me go.”
Jonathan was slightly stunned. “Just this?”
“Yes,” said Rosalie.
“Rosie, don’t you want to tell him that you were wronged? Don’t you want him to turn over the case for you?”
“It’s useless. At that time, Lillian ran to his company’s downstairs for my matter and begged him. He didn’t meet her. I was in prison, but I did not give up writing to him, saying that his fiancée’s death had nothing to do with me. I begged him to not let anyone hurt me again, but it was useless. The letter is like a stone falling into the sea.” Rosalie smiled bitterly.
These memories were painful for her.
Jonathan’s face was gloomy, and even his eyes became dark. No one could tell what he was thinking about now.
“Well, let’s not talk about these things anymore. It was in the past. At least after I was released from prison, Jonathan didn’t seem to have taken any revenge on me. Otherwise, I might not be able to stay in the Environment and Sanitation Administration at all,” said Rosalie.
Jonathan suddenly held Rosalie’s rough hands in his palms, rubbing little by little to warm her up.
If he had known that, he would not have ignored her, watched her go to
10:37
prison with injustice, and let those who flattered him punish her in prison.
However, if Jonathan’s identity was exposed in front of Rosalie in the future, he was still unable to accept her request.
“I’m sorry,” Jonathan murmured.
“What?” Rosalie was puzzled.
“To knit a scarf and gloves for me, your hands became so cold,” Jonathan whispered. He would never let her go in his life.
Jonathan would compensate Rosalie, give her the best, make her the most enviable woman in Strico, and wash away all her stains. Jonathan would never let Rosalie go!
In the next few days, Rosalie’s life was quite leisurely. She knitted or surfed the internet. It was her long–lost leisure time.
Meanwhile, the injuries on her feet were getting better day by day. Every day, Jonathan would carry her to the small park in the residential area for
a sunbath.
Every time, some old people in the residential area looked at them with a curious look.
“Little girl, did your boyfriend carry you out for a sunbath again?” In the little park, a talkative old lady approached Rosalie.
Rosalie did not know how many times she had explained that Jon was not her boyfriend, but her younger brother. However, the old lady still believed that he was her boyfriend after knowing they were not related by blood.
“He’s not your boyfriend yet, but he will be in the future. You are just talking nonsense about saying you are siblings,” the old lady said with a smile.
Hence, Rosalie did not bother to explain anymore.
However, Jonathan smiled when the old lady called him Rosalie’s boyfriend.
Jonathan put Rosalie on the stone bench in the little park and said, “It’s colder today than yesterday. I will bring you more clothes.”
“Okay,” Rosalie answered.
When Jonathan came back with the clothes, he saw those women in the residential area who seemed to be talking to Rosalie around her. Then,
10:570
Rosalie blushed and kept waving her hands.
Jonathan could not help but slow down. He felt that Rosalie’s reddened cheeks were so cute as if she was a harmless kitten, which made people want to make fun of her.
When those women saw Jonathan coming, they immediately left with a smile. Before leaving, they also winked at Rosalie, which made her face blush even more.
“What’s wrong?” Jonathan stepped forward and put the clothes on Rosalie while asking her.
Rosalie looked at Jonathan with an embarrassed look in her round eyes. Her pupils were dark and watery, while her cheeks were red like apples, which made people have the urge to have a bite.
A burst of desire suddenly surged from Jonathan’s body. He calmly suppressed the reaction of his body, but there was a feeling in his heart.
It seemed that Rosalie’s influence on Jonathan was getting stronger and stronger. She just blushed, but it made him want her.
“They… They thought you were my boyfriend,” Rosalie whispered.
“Isn’t that something we already knew?” Jonathan said.
“Then they said, you are so beautiful.” Rosalie was even more embarrassed.
“And then?” Jonathan asked.
“And then I’m teaching them how to make men interested in women.” Rosalie was shy and did not tell Jonathan the details.
“In the future, you can use it on me to see if it works,” Jonathan said. “Why are you…” Rosalie bit her lower lip awkwardly.
Jonathan’s throat could not help but tighten.
At this moment, Rosalie’s phone rang. She picked up the phone and answered it. Her face changed immediately and then responded in a low voice.
After finishing the call, Rosalie looked at Jonathan and said, “I want to go back to my mother’s hometown during this new year. Just now, they said that Granny wants to see me.”
Rosalie’s grandmother, Wilma Lopez, was the only one from her mother’s family who made her feel warm. When Gordon married Caitlin, he once threw Rosalie back to her mother’s hometown. At that
10:576
time, it was Wilma who took care of Rosalie. She did not return to the city until she was in third grade.
When Rosalie was little, she could only come back in winter and summer vacations. Later, after graduating from high school, sometimes she saved enough money to buy a bus ticket and she would go back to visit Wilma until something happened to her three years ago. At that time, Wilma was in poor health and needed to lay in bed frequently. Other relatives were busy breaking off their relationship with Rosalie, and even the phone call she made back to her hometown was ruthlessly hung up.
This time, it was the first time that the family of Rosalie’s mother had called her in three years.
